Gosh, we just love these two.
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

Fact: our hearts swell with enough warmth to rival a scorching Aussie summer upon Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness showcasing their undying commitment to each other.

^^Exhibits A and B…

Earlier this year, the world (OK, we…) almost spontaneously combusted when Hugh, 48, took to Instagram to commemorate his 21-year wedding anniversary with Deb, 61, writing, “To the love of my life. 21 glorious years. I love you with all my heart.”

And now the Wolverine actor has finally lifted the lid on the (slightly bizarre) secret to their long-lasting wedded bliss.

Now, take a breath…

“Meditation!” he told PEOPLE at the National Night of Laughter and Song in D.C. this week.

Yes, you read right. Meditation.

“We meditate together,” Deb continues. “And sometimes we have friends over to do it, too. It’s a lovely Sunday-morning thing. Everyone comes over, and then we have breakfast.”

Not only that, but Deb also divulged that a “sense of humour” keeps their love going strong, with Hugh adding, “and always listening to the wife”.

This isn’t the first time Hugh has spoken candidly about the woman he had a “major crush” on when they met on the set of Deb’s Aussie show, Correlli, all those years ago.

“She and I met before [I got famous],” he told Ellen DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

“It was my first job and it was…obviously, she’s the greatest thing that ever happened to me, and it gets better and better.”

“I’m kind of really grateful that I met before anything kind of happened, because everything that’s happened in my career and on-screen, off-screen, we’ve always done it together.”

All together now: Awww.
